Currency For the Long-gone World
"“Currency for the Long-Gone World” is a narrative artwork that gathers our collective memories associated with these aged objects. The film is CG animated, featuring a spectral, restrained figure holding an old TV set, guiding viewers into the narrative with an otherworldly voice. The film is structured with a fixed beginning and end, augmented by four distinct channels displayed on the old TV in the center. Viewers can throw ghost money into the fire pile to switch channels, each offering a unique storytelling experience. Scenes include depictions of small electronic devices, origami creations, footwear, and blankets, all representing prototypes of possessions belonging to my friends and family. Each scene is metaphorically presented from the first-person perspective of the objects, poetically describing their life experiences, which in turn reflect the experience.
